We are delighted that The Irish Times has ranked The High School as one of the top 3 mixed feeder schools in Ireland making it the leading school in its sector in 2017. This follows a recent ranking by The Sunday Times which classified The High School as one of the top 5 mixed fee-paying schools in Ireland. The High School was also ranked among the top performing fee-paying schools in Ireland by The Sunday Independent making it once again the leading school in its sector in 2018. There have been significant improvements in examination performance at The High School in recent years which reflects the professional excellence of our teaching staff, the determination and hard work of pupils, and the dedicated support of parents and guardians. I should like to congratulate all our pupils on their outstanding results and to thank my colleagues who have worked tirelessly on their behalf throughout their time at The High School.
